In Look East: Damning criticism for Northamptonshire Police after this | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
family was murdered. Would the killer have been caught if they had | :00:13. | :00:22. | |
handled a 999 call properly? The I PCC concluded the core handling in | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
relation to that call was below an acceptable standard. | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
Welcome to Look East. Also tonight: The most important road in the | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
region but what next for the A14? The market town losing their banks | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
and the campaign to save them. We are in training with the Norfolk | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
teenager who juggles exams and full-time training to get to this | :00:48. | :00:58. | |

year's Paralympic Games playing First, a damning report on | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
Northamptonshire Police and the way a 999 call from a teenager | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
desperately trying to help her family escape from a murderer was | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
handled. The Ding family were at home when the attack happened last | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
April. All four were stabbed to death. There was a 999 call we | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
think from 18-year-old Xing Ding. Today, the Independent Police | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Complaints Commission found that officers were sent to the wrong | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
address, that the call was wrongly prioritised and that the force had | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
no procedure in place for so-called "abandoned calls". Few will need to | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
be reminded of the horror that unfolded at 10 Pioneer Close. The | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
Ding family, murdered, stabbed to death in their own home. It | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
happened ten months ago on the day of the Royal Wedding. This guy, | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
number one, Anxiang Du... The prime suspect, Anxiang Du, one of the | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
family's business associates, hasn't been seen since. An | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
abandoned 999 call where screams could be heard was made from this | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
house during the time of the attack. It is thought to have been made by | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
the Ding's eldest daughter. Today, the Independent Police Complaints | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Commission said Northamptonshire Police mishandled that call. The | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
report's findings showed the location of the call was | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
incorrectly identified which led police to focus on the wrong | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
address. The call should have been graded as needing an immediate | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
response. The call was closed prematurely without sufficient | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
effort to establish the welfare of the caller. The standard by which | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
the police handled the call was unacceptable because there was no | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
clear force policy for handling abandoned 999 calls. In this | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
particular case, the valuable minutes of police time are wasted | :03:02. | :03:12. | |
:03:12. | :03:18. | ||
in attending the incorrect address. Today's findings are just one part | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
of the story. The investigation has been hampered with other set-backs. | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
Anxiang Du's getaway car was not picked up by numberplate | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
recognition cameras. The dumped Vauxhall Corsa accrued nine parking | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
tickets before it was discovered. Today, the police said the tragic | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
outcome for the Ding family would have been the same. As to whether | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
they could have got to Anxiang Du quicker, we will never know. | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
So lots of questions for the police. Earlier, I spoke to Deputy Chief | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
Constable Suzette Davenport. I asked for her reaction to the | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
criticism. I want to start by saying that my thoughts are with | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
the wider Ding family for their tragic loss. Throughout, they have | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
been dignified and supportive of us in our investigation. The IPCC | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
rightly concluded that the core handling in relation to that call | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
was below an acceptable standard. We have taken significant steps | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
since then to address policy, training and standards to ensure | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
that those sorts of events will never happen in Northamptonshire | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
again. It is pretty shocking that these kind of policies weren't in | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
force already. In fact, it says there was no clear force policy for | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
handling these kind of calls? did have a range of procedures in | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
place. There is a document called the ACPO Core Handling Standards | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
Guidance. We had a range of procedures. That ACPO manual did | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
not provide procedures specifically in relation to abandoned or dropped | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
999 calls. We did have a procedure but we did not have a policy at | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
that time. We have been through a thorough investigation ourselves to | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
understand what happened on the day to ensure that this could never | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
happen again. We have clear policy, procedures and training to ensure | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
that this would not happen again. Surely it should be almost | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
instinctive if someone hears screaming on the end of the phone, | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
they should know that that call requires an immediate response and | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
it was not logged as needing that in this case? We had the call that | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
came through from the BT operator who reported to us that there was | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
screaming on the phone. The operator did undertake a range of | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
checks. There was a check that could have been undertaken that | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
wasn't, which meant we did not ask for the subscriber details. The | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
changes we have made mean that the procedures are very clear now and | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
the staff have all been trained to ensure that such calls will now | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
mean that we find the subscriber detail and or have ensured that we | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
make contact with the person that has made that call. I have a letter | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
here written by the families of the victims. They clearly feel the | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
outcome would have been different if the call had been handled | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
properly. Even if lives hadn't been saved, you might at least have been | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
able to catch the perpetrator? know that. Had the address been | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
identified from the subscriber details, that would not - and I | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
repeat - that would not have changed the tragic outcome for the | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
Ding family. It is possible - and I say possible because we do not know | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
how long the offender stayed at the premises - we may have located the | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
main suspect, Anxiang Du. Thank you very much. | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
Still to come: The 16-year-old juggling exams with a bid for the | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
Paralympics. A day in the life of the A14 on the | :07:02. | :07:12. | |
:07:12. | :07:20. | ||
day business leaders discuss how Norfolk Police have launched a | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
murder inquiry two days after the discovery of a man's body. Barry | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
Reeve, 67, was found dead in his home in Corton Road in Norwich on | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
Sunday. His daughter called police after she went to visit him. | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
Through the bars of the gate, forensic officers can be seen. They | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
have been examining the sheltered housing where Barry Reeve lived. | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
His daughter found his back door unsecured and discovered blood. | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
When he didn't respond to her calls, she phoned police before venturing | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
any further inside. Obviously, the crime scene is very important to us. | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
We are going to spend some time doing a thorough examination to | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
capture evidence which may help us. At the moment, we don't know | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
whether the person who was responsible or the people | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
responsible forced entry, or whether they were invited in, or | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
the premises were insecure. Barry Reeve was retired. He had been a | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
conductor for Eastern Buses and was known as Titch. His body was found | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
on Sunday afternoon. He had been seriously assaulted. His death has | :08:25. | :08:33. | |
shocked local people. Sad. Very sorry for him. I have only met him | :08:33. | :08:43. | |
:08:43. | :08:46. | ||
- had only met him a few times. He very much kept to himself. He | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
seemed a pleasant innocent sort of man. As yet, police don't know the | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
motive for his murder. They are appealing for witnesses, but want | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
to reassure locals they believe this is an isolated attack. | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
A fire at a recycling centre in Suffolk is still smouldering almost | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
a day-and-a-half after it started. Fire broke out at Holmefield | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
Business Park in Haverhill yesterday morning and crews were | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
still at the scene this afternoon. Water used to fight the fire has | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
been taken away in tankers to reduce the risk of pollution. A man | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
wanted over a burglary at a cannabis factory in Essex in which | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
a man's body was discovered has appeared in court. Tran Duy Hai was | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
found dead at the site in South Woodham Ferrers last December. | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
Stephen Morrison was arrested on Sunday. He is charged with burglary, | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
drugs offences and failing to surrender to police bail. Six men | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
were sentenced last week for their involvement. | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
About 40 firefighters are still at the scene of a major fire in Essex | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
making sure the site is completely safe. They have been at Tilbury | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
Power Station since yesterday morning when the fire broke out in | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
several thousand tonnes of wood pellets. | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
The calm waters of the River Thames mirrored the mood at the power | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
station. The fire officially under control, but the operation | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
surrounding it far from over. Today, the damage to the northern section | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
of the station was clear to see, the whole area blackened by the | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
intensity of the fire. At its height more than 120 firefighters | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
tackled the blaze. The Fire Service describing it as hugely challenging. | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
They had to establish the building was safe to enter before crews | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
wearing breathing apparatus went in armed with high expansion foam to | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
starve the fire of oxygen. Today more equipment was brought in. The | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
fire crews have been on watch overnight, some embers still | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
smouldering beneath the foam. fire was brought under control | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
yesterday afternoon. We are emptying the material from those | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
bunkers that were set alight. We have been assisted in doing that by | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
the brigade to ensure we don't get a flare up of any fire. The other | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
thing that is happening is Unit 8, the unit not affected, has been | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
generating since 9.00pm yesterday and we are running the wood in | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
those bunkers out of those bunkers so we have know fire risk. This | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
station has been burning coal since 1967. It only switched to biomass | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
material two months ago. The company says it's set up an | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
internal investigation. Too early to assess the extent of the damage, | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
though, and no clues yet as to the cause of the fire. | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
Two new cases of a disease which causes birth defects in livestock | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
have been discovered on sheep farms in Essex. There have been 83 cases | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
across the country with 16 in Norfolk and 14 in Suffolk. Humans | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
are not affected by the virus. A funeral has taken place at a | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
church in Essex despite the fact that the church yard is being | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
occupied by anti-capitalist protesters. The Occupy Southend | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
group has been at St Mary's in Prittlewell for the last ten days. | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
During the service, the protesters moved into a storage tent after | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
moving their own tents out of the way. | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
Over the years, we have done lots of stories about pubs and shops | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
closing. We haven't done as many about banks. New figures show they | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
are closing, too. Victoria Cook reports from Harleston where the | :12:32. | :12:40. | |
HSBC is planning to close soon. Janet Gibbs collects signatures to | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
support her campaign to keep her local bank open. Although the High | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
Street has other banks, she says people shouldn't have to switch or | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
be made to travel. They call themselves the world's local bank. | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
But it is not local. They are not concerned about the local area. | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
They have no idea where we are in the country. They have no idea that | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
Diss is ten miles away. Rural banks are in decline across the country. | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
In the East, nearly 80 towns and villages have one local bank left. | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
One MP's written to the Office of Fair Trading asking them to | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
consider access to financial services in rural areas. I like the | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
idea that's come across from the US where essentially you have one | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
building and you have a choice of banks within that. There's | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
competition there to provide services to customers. In Harleston, | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
shopkeepers think those with business accounts could struggle | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
the most. It is so sad because for a business you don't want to keep | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
running everywhere because you haven't got time. It so easy to pay | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
money in. It is devastating for the town. HSBC say decreasing numbers | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
of people are using this branch and they believe it is no longer fit | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
for purpose. They say people are opting to bank online or nearer to | :14:04. | :14:14. | |

where they work, so they say they You are watching Look East. Coming | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
up: The 16-year-old battling to get to the Paralympics but she still | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
doesn't know if her sport will be included. | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
The future of the A14 has been under the spotlight today at a | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
conference in Kettering. Business leaders and council officials claim | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
that one job in every four in Northamptonshire relies on road | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
transport and on the A14 in particular. If major improvements | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
aren't made, the economy of the region will suffer. A reminder now | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
of the history of the road. It came into existence in 1994, the | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
then Transport Secretary, John McGregor, doing the honours. The | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
stretches of new road were between the M1 and the A1. To the east, the | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
A14 replaced existing routes, the old A604 and A45. More than 20 | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
years later, where are the pinch points? Mainly between Cambridge | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
and Huntingdon. It was going to be made into a four-lane carriageway | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
under Labour. The coalition scrapped that plan on cost grounds. | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
What next? Stuart Radcliffe was at the conference. | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
This is how the A14 in Cambridgeshire should now look. | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
After years of arguments and delays, costs almost doubled. When the | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
coalition came to power, a bill of �1.2 billion was seen as | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
unaffordable. With traffic projected to increase by 15% in the | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
next ten years, everyone here agrees something needs to be done. | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
As a priority for road investment, there is no argument, it has to be | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
number one in the UK. Therefore, when it was put on the sidelines, | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
really on the basis that it was too costly, this was a major blow to UK | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
plc and we believe the economic activity and future of the company. | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
Some improvements have been given the go-ahead. Widening of the A14 | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
at Kettering and �20 million to improve the interchanges. These are | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
just purely stop-gap measures and Northamptonshire County Council | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
says it is vital new proposals are brought forward. It is a massive | :16:37. | :16:47. | |
part of our economy to get the thing right. Any delays on the A14 | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
- it is the important route down to the south coast ports. | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
stumbling block to any new road is cash. As the A14 is officially | :16:58. | :17:07. | |
classed as a trance trans-European link, it is suggested money from | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
Brussels could be the answer. are possibilities in Europe to be | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
found so that there's more money, the main part - there is more money | :17:18. | :17:26. | |
than you think. You can take it. With plans for the new town near | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
Cambridge revealed yesterday, the Government accepts a solution is | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
needed. Amended proposals including the possibility of a controversial | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
toll road will be unveiled in the spring. | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
That is what's happened at the conference. What was life like on | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
the A14 today? We asked Richard Daniel to travel along the | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
Felixstowe to Cambridge stretch of the road. This is his story. | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
Felixstowe - where the A14 runs out, or begins, depends how you look at | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
it. Wherever you live, this is a road that shapes and affects all | :18:01. | :18:11. | |
:18:11. | :18:11. | ||
our lives. Every year, two million containers head in-and-out of | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
Felixstowe via the A14. As trade routes go, they don't come bigger. | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
Where trade leads, people follow. People like Gillian Read. Her new | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
home is barely 100 yards from the A14. That is just how she likes it. | :18:28. | :18:38. | |
My work is in Bury St Edmunds. I still travel back to Birmingham | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
regularly. What a thing, the 14 is what made me come and live here. | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
the road, traffic is building. And trouble is brewing. It was all | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
going too well. I have ground to a halt after 36 miles. There is a | :18:52. | :19:02. | |
:19:02. | :19:07. | ||
huge traffic jam, an accident or something up ahead. The A14 has | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
been blocked as a result of an accident... Thankfully, no-one is | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
seriously hurt. Four miles of tailbacks leads to hours of delays. | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
Delays which matter for the people who work at Century Logistics. If | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
you buy a baby buggy, chances are it's come through here. We have 50 | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
deliveries a day. So that all has to be taken into account for | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
lorries being bucked in and lorries being booked out -- booked in and | :19:43. | :19:51. | |
lorries being booked out as well. 24 miles on, it is lunch time at | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
the Cambridge Quy Mill Hotel. When the A14 plays up, they know all | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
about it. When it is running well, things are great. When it's piled | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
up, it is running badly, people are late for conferences, people miss | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
their check-in and check-out dates. Out on the A14, the road is packed | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
with traffic. With no alternative major east-west route, motorists | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
have to grin and bear it. So, in 80 miles, I have encountered | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
one nasty accident and I have met some very nice people, too. People | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
who depend on this road, but people who very much have a love-hate | :20:29. | :20:37. | |
relationship with it, too. If you have a story about the A14, | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
we would love to hear from you. You can call us on 08457 630 630. Or | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
you can e-mail us at [email protected]. | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
Of course, there's Facebook as well. I sat in a queue there a couple of | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
weeks ago on a Saturday. It took me hours! | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
Here is a sport you might not have heard of. It was thought up in | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
Europe in 1946 and the idea was to help war veterans who had lost | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
their sight during the Second World War. It is called goalball and it | :21:09. | :21:19. | |
:21:19. | :21:19. | ||
is thriving in the 21st Century. It might make this year's Paralympics. | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Forget fashion and gossip, Amy Ottaway is no ordinary teenager. | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
She's one of the UK's top goalball players. In a wreak, -- week, the | :21:31. | :21:41. | |
:21:41. | :21:47. | ||
18-year-old juggled gym sessions with her exams. It is very similar | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
to basketball. It is 12 minutes a half. It is very quick. You have to | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
have more of a sprint endurance. You are getting up-and-down all the | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
time off the floor, which is very tiring. Amy qualifies for the sport | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
because she's partially-sighted. She's played for the last four | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
years. But what exactly is goalball? It's the only the | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
Paralympic team sport designed for female blind athletes and the aim | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
of goalball is to roll this rubber ball with a bell inside into a goal. | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
But the crowd must be in complete silence otherwise the athletes | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
can't hear the ball. Amy's hoping for success at this year's | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
Paralympic Games, but there is a snag - the sport is yet to be | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
included at London 2012. Her team has to make a presentation in a | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
fortnight to convince the powers- that-be to put them in. All we can | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
do is carry on working really hard and hope that we have done enough | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
to show that we are worth a chance, you though. Everyone's been | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
improving their fitness levels. We are taking every opportunity we can | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
to try and improve and that is all we can do. In two weeks' time, Amy | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
will know if her sport will be played at the Paralympic Games. It | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
is a nervy wait to see if her Paralympic dream comes true. | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
We thought that looked really exciting! It does look exhausting, | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
though. Imagine what it is like with no | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
sound from the audience. Let's hope it is there. Right. The | :23:29. | :23:37. | |
We are in the middle of a fairly mild spell of weather. For the rest | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
of this week, it looks like it will stay mild and dry. There will be a | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
fair bit of cloud around at times. We should see something of the | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
sunshine. What is going on? To set the scene, we have got an area of | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
high pressure. It is centred over Northern France and it has brought | :23:53. | :24:01. | |
this mild Atlantic air mass across us, but also as it moves across, | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
it's brought a lot of moisture with it. So conditions have been cloudy. | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
There is a gap here on the satellite chart across southern | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
Essex. So we got to 15 degrees this afternoon. It shows a bit of | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
sunshine can mean the temperature really shoots up. If you put that | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
in context, the average for this time of year is 7 Celsius. So | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
exceptionally mild conditions. It will stay mild tonight. A very | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
cloudy, misty, murky sort of night. One or two clear intervals possible. | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
Temperatures are expected to get no lower than 8 Celsius, which is 48 | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
Fahrenheit. Tomorrow's weather brings similar sort of conditions | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
to today. There will be a lot of cloud around. In places, that cloud | :24:52. | :25:02. | |
:25:02. | :25:04. | ||
could thin and break. Temperatures will climb to about 14 Celsius. The | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
winds will generally be a light south-westerly. So through the | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
afternoon, it stays really cloudy. You will see one or two thinner | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
bits of cloud on the chart. Looking ahead, we have the chance of some | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
rainfall really by Sunday. It's an area of low pressure that is | :25:24. | :25:31. | |
expected to bring us that rainfall. There could be more persistent rain | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
here. Before that, it is fairly dry. A lot of cloud around for tomorrow. | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
It does look like we will see more sunshine for Thursday. That cloud | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
thinning and breaking allowing some sunny spells. Looking ahead to | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
Friday, it gets cloudy and dull once more. With the wind turning | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
around to more of an easterly, it will have an impact on those | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
temperatures. They will still start to go further south - 11 or 12 | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
Celsius at best. Some showers expected for Saturday. Into Sunday, | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
it looks as though it will be a dry start. As that low pressure comes | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
in, it will mean some quite persistent rain. Some mild nights | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
persistent rain. Some mild nights on the way, too. | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
Just before we go, a word about the programme tomorrow: We will be | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
looking at speeding on our roads. There was a time when anybody who | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
got caught speeding would get ticked off, fined or banned. Now | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
there is another choice. Some drivers can opt for a speed | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
awareness course. Thousands of people are sent on them every year. | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
This one was in Norfolk. The aim is to educate rather than punish. | :26:45. | :26:52. | |
Knock on the door, ask does so-and- so live here, if the answer is | :26:53. | :26:59. |
